In this task, you are given an article. Your task is to summarize the article in a sentence.

First, it shows that building houses is more profitable than building shops - at least in some parts of the UK.
And second, that controversial supermarket "land banking" (buying up swathes of land for potential retail development) has largely run its course.
It is likely that other supermarkets will follow suit, releasing land for housing and smaller retail developments.
Which could be good news for a government keen to see lots more houses built.
I asked Alan Stewart, Tesco's chief financial officer, how many houses could be built.
"It certainly will be thousands, I think it will depend on council by council, site by site exactly what the development turns out to be," he said.
Sources close to the business tell me that as many as 10,000 homes could be built on the sites Tesco has just sold, from Bath to London and the south-east of England.
"These sites were all bought because we intended to put a store [in] and then develop residential around them," Mr Stewart told the BBC.
"We wanted to ensure that we would work with the communities and the council in order to develop and build housing and the other projects as quickly as possible and in a way that is sympathetic to the community."
The 14 sites sold are just a small part of the 49 projects Tesco announced earlier in the year it was abandoning.
The others remain largely unsold and derelict, leading to criticisms from local MPs such as Pat McFadden, MP for Wolverhampton South East, who said the local community felt let down.
I asked Mr Stewart if he had sympathy with the critics.
"Of course, and I think it's in these sort of sites and these communities [that] it's very difficult.
"These were difficult decisions we made [to abandon the developments].
"They weren't made without a lot of contemplation, a lot of thought and we'll do everything we can to try to get the developments that were expected in these areas, developed as quickly as possible.
As quickly as possible, yes, but Mr Stewart knows that selling lucrative sites in the south-east of England is somewhat easier than more marginal sites across the north of England, for example.
As yet, there is still no timeline for selling the rest of the sites, which for the moment will remain padlocked and unused.
This morning's announcement that Tesco is selling 14 former supermarket sites to a property developer is significant for two reasons.

Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Johnny Lomax tries either side of Daryl Clark's score for Warrington put Saints 12-6 up at the the break.
Jack Hughes' try for the Wire helped them close the gap to two points.
Jordan Turner then powered over for Saints, only for Ryan Atkins to set up a nervy finish with Wolves' third try.
Warrington's Rhys Evans was denied a winner by the television match official two minutes from the end, with replays showing the winger's foot had gone into touch as he crossed in the corner.
Defeat for Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium comes five days after they beat Wakefield 56-12 to book their place in the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC at Wembley.
Conversely Saints were in action for the first time in 13 days, having gone into the competition split with a 23-4 win over Wigan Warriors in the last regular season Super League game on 22 July.
St Helens' sixth successive Super league win moves them to within two points of Wigan in third.
Wolves remain a point adrift of leaders Hull FC, who host Castleford Tigers in their opening Super 8s game on Friday.
Warrington Wolves coach coach Tony Smith:  "I don't want to use the short turnaround as an excuse. We were off it.
"The sharpness wasn't there. My boys tried right to the end but, if we were going to pull it out, it was going to be through individual brilliance.
"I thought St Helens were very good at getting numbers in the tackles and controlling the speed of the ruck and their kicking game better than ours. They deserved their win."
St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham: "How many Warrington games have been sat biting our nails at the end? I do think we were deserved winners.
"It was a really brave performance. In big games you've just got to find a way to win and defensively I thought we were immense.
"We started the game with zero ball and were camped on our own line and that was a common theme throughout the game.
"Sometimes you've got to win ugly games because they really count at the end.

St Helens survived a late Warrington fightback in the first game of the Super 8s to deny Wolves the chance to go top of the table.

Billy Horschel and Chris Kirk moved ahead in the race for the £6m bonus as they shared the lead on four under par.
Bubba Watson was on three under with McIlroy two shots further back in the Tour finale at East Lake in Atlanta.
Victory for either McIlroy, Horschel, Kirk, Watson or Hunter Mahan would secure the season-long title and bonus.
Northern Irishman McIlroy, 25, had four birdies and three bogeys in his opening round as he went out in 34 and came back in 35.
"Regardless of whatever is at stake in terms of prize money, I would just like to win the FedEx Cup," said the world number one.
"With the year that I've had I really want to finish it off well."
The Tour Championship is the last in the four FedEx Cup play-off events with a field of just 29 having been whittled down from 125 since Mahan won the opening event.
In theory, anyone left in the field can win the season-long title with victory at the Tour Championship but those outside the top five in the standings will have to rely on other results.
US Ryder Cup players Patrick Reed and Jim Furyk were also at three under alongside Australian Jason Day, while England's Justin Rose finished two over and Germany's Martin Kaymer three over.
Fifth-ranked Mahan's bid for the crown looked to be over as he shot a four-over 74 in a tie for 27th.
Tournament officials announced that Friday's second-round tee times will be brought forward by three hours because of a bad weather forecast.

Rory McIlroy remained in contention for the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup title after finishing three shots adrift after the first round at the Tour Championship.
